Retreat to Parliament: The National Council does not want a quiet room in the parliament building

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 fmXrkB”>

Quiet area at the University of Lucerne in 2011. The National Council does not want a quiet place to be set up in the parliament building for breaks during sessions.

On Friday, he said no to a motion by former Ticino FDP national councilor Rocco Cattaneo with 128 votes in favor, 38 votes and 27 abstentions. Cattaneo justified the initiative by saying that the frenzy during the sessions had increased significantly due to extraordinary events. This is now off the table.

For some, prayer and contemplation are valuable to return to work focused and strengthened, Cattaneo argued. For example, at airports or train stations there are also such spaces for contemplation and meditation.

The administrative delegation – it is the head of the House and responsible for the top management of the parliamentary administration – and the Office of the National Council rejected the request. Spokesman Roland Rino Büchel (SVP/SG) expressed understanding for the concerns and referred to the scarce meeting rooms in the parliament building during the sessions.

It would also have to be decided what requirements should be imposed on the use of the space. Given the denominational neutrality of the state, this should be available to anyone seeking spiritual recovery. According to Büchel, there are two toilets for council members in the East Federal Building that are rarely used. (SDA)
